In diploid, sexually reproducing populations, for which type of heritability (narrow-sense heritability or broad-sense heritability) does selection have the most relevant and predictable action? Why?

Expert Solution

In diploid, sexually reproducing population have broad sense heritability.

The protion of variation in a treat explained by inherited genetic variation refers to most general version of heritability. It doesn't comes from one single gene , rather it comes from 100 different gene or complex interaction. The effect of environment on the trait isn't simply the remainder after accounting for all the genetic effect instead they can overlap and interact on complex way.

It doesn't predict the extent to which offspring resemblance to their parents but it can measure the proportion of variance in phenotype through the genotype variance.

Hope the answer is clear!! Please give positive ratings!! Thank you

Identify descriptions as broad sense or narrow sense heritability in sexually reproducing, diploid populations.

true or false: 1)Narrow sense and broad sense heritability are equal when there is no dominance and no epistasis 2) Broad sense heritability and repeatability are the same when there are no temporary environmental effects 3) Narrow sense heritability and repeatability are always the same when there are no non-additive genetic effects 4) Narrow sense heritability can be used as the regression coefficient to predict phenotypic value from breeding value

what does it mean when the narrow sense heritability is 2.7

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of populations of sexually reproducing organisms over populations of asexually reproducing organisms. Also, include the following in your original post: • Address this from a molecular perspective as well as from a larger, environmental perspective. • Describe the two events that are common to all sexually reproducing organisms and how they fit into the different life cycles of those organisms. • Highlight three specific examples of reproduction from your text.

If the narrow sense heritability of a trait is 0, what does this mean? Does this mean a trait is entirely determined by environment?

If the narrow sense heritability of a trait is 0, what does this mean? Does this mean a trait is entirely determined by environment? Explain all the contributions to total phenotypic variance.

A. Choose the word that makes this sentence correct: The higher/lower the narrow-sense heritability of a trait, the faster you would expect that trait to respond to selection. B. Explain your answer from part A. Identify the equation you could use to predict the response of a trait to selection (1 pt.). Describe mathematically how changing the narrow-sense heritability would lead to the outcome you identified in part A

Meiosis is the process of diploid germ cell division to produce haploid gametes in sexually reproducing organisms. What aspect of chromosome behavior most clearly accounts for Mendel's law of segregation? What aspect of chromosome behavior most clearly accounts for Mendel's law of independent assortment? What other process greatly contributes to genetic diversity during meiosis, and at what stage of meiosis does this process occur?
